RESOURCES & IDEAS:
Churches Together in Britain & Ireland
CTBI have compiled a special resource pack. The theme this year has the title ‘Love Your Neighbour’, exploring what it really means to love our neighbour, especially given the current narratives of hostility, fear, suspicion and hatred of the ‘other’, particularly asylum seekers, refugees and anyone who is not British or Irish ‘enough’. The worship resources include set prayers & liturgy, scripture, hymn & song suggestions, activities and even sermon outlines. Click here to view the resource pack.
